Description

(E)-11-Hexadecen-1-Ol Acetate is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound with the CAS number 56218-72-5. This specific isomer is a critical active ingredient in the formulation of insect sex pheromone lures and mating disruptants for integrated pest management (IPM) programs. It is essential for manufacturers and distributors in the agricultural technology and specialty chemicals sectors who require a reliable, high-quality supply for producing effective and environmentally responsible pest control solutions.

Application

• Primary Component in Pheromone Lures: Used as the key attractant in traps for monitoring and mass trapping of specific moth pests in agriculture and forestry.
• Mating Disruption Formulations: Incorporated into dispensers, sprays, or flakes to permeate the crop canopy, interfering with insect mating and reducing pest populations.
• Agricultural Pest Management: Targeted control of Lepidopteran pests in crops such as cotton, fruits, and vegetables as part of sustainable IPM strategies.
• Research and Development: Serves as a standard or intermediate in the synthesis and study of insect pheromones and related semiochemicals.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediates: Used in organic synthesis for creating more complex molecules in fragrance and flavor research.
